There are still around three and a half weeks to go until the season opener, which takes place with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. The organizers of the Grand Prix circus have already scheduled the first important event of the new year for Tuesday. "F1 75" is the name of the spectacle, which is intended to whet the appetite for the next chapter in the now 75-year history that began back in May with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Around 15,000 spectators will be in attendance in London. Thanks to broadcasts on various channels and social networks, the show can be followed around the globe.

The spectacle is intended to be the perfect blend of sport and show - just as the American owners of Formula 1 would like it to be. The celebration comes at a time when the racing series is doing better than at any time in its history. It is set to be a special kind of show - even if the teams will not yet be presenting the cars in which defending champion Max Verstappen and his driver colleagues will be competing this year.
